This place was a huge hit with my Filipino family and non-Filipino friends. It hit all the nostalgic cravings my family and I had while also satisfying the appetites of those not so familiar with the cuisine.
We ordered sisig, cebuchon (we are from Cebu so we had to!), crispy pata, karekare, fried bangus, ginataan, chicken inasal, lumpia sariwa and pancit bihon. The only down side was that they ran out of a lot of things - lumpia, bbq skewers, empanadas and sisig.
Service provided by one of the “Kuyas” was outstanding. Price was decent for the serving size and for LA. It is a casual sit-down spot with a quiet ambience. Will definitely come back.

A long standing LA gem. Been around since I was a kid. The lovely owner, Lem, passed during the pandemic 💔 anyone lucky enough to have known him understands his passion for cooking and treating people like family. He always made me off menu items I craved after traveling in the Phillipines. Thankfully the team has kept up those high standards and the food quality hasn't changed one bit. I hope they are around for another 25 years.

Such a beautiful restaurant. I came in without looking at the dinning room and boy is it spacious. I ordered the chicken soup (arroz caldo), a plate of freid pork (buchon), the house made limeade(calamansi), and a dessert that had coconut jelly and ice cream (buko pandan). All added up to $41. Gave enough food for me to get full and take a lot back home. They were nice with giving some recommendations. Will definitely come again for sure, but will have to be a monthly thing since I live to far :').

Everytime I visit LA, it's become my non-negotiable that I HAVE to go to LA Rose Cafe.
Quite literally the feeling of having a meal at your Lola's place. Catch me reminiscing like Anton from Ratatouille everytime I take a bite out of that tocilog. The first time I came here, someone sat down and started playing classic OPM ballads on the piano and it was like I was in a teleserye.
Aside from the atmosphere alone though, the servers are also very attentive. And the food is top-notch. Amazing lechon kawali, lumpia, empanadas, you name it. I always make sure to order some calamansi or buko juice as well.
This is the only Filipino restaurant I’ve tried in LA but it’s better than any of the ones I’ve been to in New York which says a lot! Super warm and friendly service as well. You can tell it’s restaurant with a lot of heart.

My husband is Filipino and he liked the food, it's similar to a restaurant in the Philippines. Prices are ok and the inside is nicely decorated for Christmas if you go in December.

Had a great experience at L.A Rose Cafe. Their lumpiang shanghai and halo-halo are fire. Will definitely be back to try other food on the menu.

One of the best places my family and I ate at during our road trip. Best filipino food outside of my mom's kitchen. The empanadas are to die for. The dining room felt like being in a filipino living room with the dark wood furniture and Chinese decor... only things missing were a karaoke machine and a painting of The Last Supper. All filipino food lovers visiting LA must try this restaurant!!
Great service
